Peter Bergeron, the first player signed in Revolution franchise history, still needs a contract for 2008. He hasn't been contacted by the Revolution this offseason, and he still wants to play.
By looking at York's already beefy roster (14 players, including four outfielders), it seems Bergeron's chances for returning with the Revolution range from slim to none.
A class act, Bergeron, 30, deserves another shot in the Atlantic League. He's respected by his teammates. He doesn't cause problems. And he can still field and hit. Dinged up at the start of last season, he battled through a difficult May (.195 batting average) and recovered to bat .337 during the month of June.
His two stints in independent baseball ended with him earning contracts with major league organizations.
Here's a look at a story on Bergeron from the York Sunday News.
